Captures the soul of beer. It has a maltiness that reminds you that beer is a product of the soil. Balance of malt and hops.

The hop sting hits you first, then a rich mouthful of malt, and then a nice little hop sting left over. Nice.

Bottle. Amber color, brownish head. Roasted malt aroma, chocolate and some fruits. Malty, roasted flavor, chocolate, burnt sugar, maybe some pine apple? Roasted malt finish with a late bitterness

Bottled. Charneol colour. Firm, frothy-ish head. Bit chocolatey at first, later comes caramel with some sacharine shining through. Low hop levels from start to finish. After comes a noticable bitterness.

550ml. Nice character ESB with hops blended smoothly into the earthy & medium roasty dry flavor profile. Were that all commercial beer be this good.

Bouteille de 550 ml, acheté au LCBO sur Rideau (Ottawa). Ambrée terre-cuite, peu à pas de collet. Arome de malte sucré au miel, avec d’amèrtume et peu houblonné. Goût légé de malte sucré au miel, un peu floral et une touche amère. Assez agréable!

(bottle): Pours a clear brown color, white-brownish head, average to small. Malty aroma, honey. Malty effervescent, honey taste. Fresh tasting. Lots of honey aftertaste. Nice session beer.

Bottle: Chestnut brown with a smaller beige head. Nose is mild of malts, caramel, and rye. Taste is maltier still with caramel, breadiness, and light floral hops. Earthy and dry. Not one to remember.
